Food safety - Guidelines for Catering Clients

Cooked food must be kept hot (above 63°C) and shared within 1.5 hrs, or chilled (below 5°C) and shared within 24 hrs for safety.

Are you able to collect cooked food?

Yes we are. We recruit local volunteers to minimise collection and distribution times to ensure we can distribute cooked food in a safe way. If the cooked food is hot, it needs to be kept above 63°C and redistributed within 1.5 hours of collection, or chilled until redistributed. If the cooked food donated is chilled, this needs to be kept below 5°C and redistributed within 24 hours.
